Re: What (if anything) do you listen to when playing BZ?

e.s. posthumus Absolute Genius. Boresnake, I couldn't agree more. Until about 6 months ago, I had never listened to vinyls - but just before I left for university, my dad gave me his vinyl collection. It amazes me how rich and warm it sounds. Even though the bitrate of CDs supposedly gives a high e...

Re: What (if anything) do you listen to when playing BZ?

With a good table, arm, cartridge, and phono stage, vinyl just gets even better. The clicks and pops that some people hear is usually just dirt on the records, and with a good cleaning, LPs can be dead quiet.

Re: What (if anything) do you listen to when playing BZ?

I am very serious about two channel audio, and I usually listen to music in the background while I play bzf. I like alternative pop, rock, soul, jazz, and alternative folk, although I usually listen to Led Zepplin, The Who, or other rock bands when I play bzf. When I am not playing bzf, female singe...

I don't think the maps make the game, although there are a few maps on which I don't play. I think that the players that make the game.

Because the album was released before he was born.
